Photoshop tutorials - úprava pleti

Základní úpravou, ke které postupem času dospěje snad každý, kdo to myslí s tvorbou fotografií vážně je jistě úprava pleti. Nezáleží na tom, jestli potřebujete upravit rodinou fotografii, nebo retušovat a kompletně přetvořit barevné podání pleti, vyhladit a zjemnit rysy na profesoinální fotografii, kde máme sice více prostředků, jak kýženého efektu dosáhnout a to jak makeupem, svícením, či jen výběrem ideálního modelu. Základem úpravy a vyhlazení pokožky je použití překrytí a promaskování s vrstvou, ve které je zduplikováno pozadí a použito gausovské rozostření...

MyShutterCount.com provides a tool for you to check your digital camera (most of the DSLR) shutter count and basic EXIF information...

EOSInfo is the successor to the 40DShutterCount utility. I called it EOSInfo since it provides more information than just the shutter counter, and works on a wider variety of cameras than just the 40D*.

EOSInfo is for Windows only. At this time, I don't have any plans for creating a Mac version, largely due to time constraints. Mac users (who apparently are overly sensitive) should continue using the 40DShutterCount utility...

MTF charakteristiky – vysvětlivky:
Černé čáry platí pro maximálně odcloněný objektiv.
Modré čáry platí pro clonu f/8.
Tučné čáry (hodnota 10 čar/mm) platí pro kontrast.
Tenké čáry (hodnota 30 čar/mm) platí pro rozlišení.
Plné čáry (S) měřeno v sagitální obrazové rovině.
Čárkované (M) měřeno v meridiální obrazové rovině.
Hodnoty 0, 5, 15, 20 jsou v milimetrech a udávají vzdálenost od středu obrazového pole.
MTF charakteristiky 0,8 a více při 10 čarách/mm ukazují na výborný objektiv, do hodnoty 0,6 při 10 čarách/mm jde o uspokojivý obraz.
Čím více jsou S a M křivky v linii, tím je neostrý obraz přirozenější.

Understanding Exposure

Understanding Exposure

A Complex Subject Made Simple for Beginners

History & Moonshots
When I was in my teens (in the mid-1960s) and just starting to make my way in the world of photography in a serious manner, Pentax brought out the Spotmatic. This was an SLR, very much in the modern idiom, but it contained the world's first behind the lens metering system. One had to manually close down the aperture to take a reading, and notwithstanding the name it wasn't a spotmeter, but everyone who bought one thought that they'd died and gone to heaven. Imagine — a camera that could read exposure through the shooting lens, with filters, bellows extension and all. Damn, technology was advancing so much we might even land a man on the moon one day...

Raise a hand if you spend a lot of your time in your camera’s auto modes, Program, Shutter or Aperture Priority or even Scene Modes.

Canon 60D vs Nikon D7000 vs Canon 7D - Which One is the Best?

Canon 60D vs Nikon D7000 vs Canon 7D - Which One is the Best?



Today I saw a video in DigitalRev YouTube channel that compared the Nikon D7000 vs Canon 60D. A few days ago I did a comparison between the Nikon D7000 vs. Canon 7D. In my opinion, the Nikon D7000 can be easily compared with the 7D in terms of features and built quality. From what I can see, people just don't know where to categorize this camera. I still don't know if the Canon 60D is an upgrade from the 50D or the 550D. I can understand why DigitalRev did a D7000 vs 7D comparison and not because both of them have the number 7 in their model number.

Before the Nikon D7000 announced, I was quite sure that Canon has ...
